New Delhi. If any building is most expensive in the country, then it is the Taj Mahal, the symbol of love. But, despite this, the Taj Mahal is also the building that gives the highest income by selling tickets across the country. Not only the country but foreign tourists also come here in large numbers. The number of tourists of both types remains around 60 lakhs throughout the year. If the tickets for the Taj Museum are also included, then in a year more than Rs 100 crore tickets are sold at the Taj Mahal alone. In today’s time, foreigners are getting Rs 1300 for the Taj and Indian tourists are getting Rs 250. But the ticket getting expensive is not having any effect on the fans of Taj.
